Kitty Martini. Co-author of "Thank You For Firing Me!" Out Now!
On March 9, 2010 at the Broadway Comedy Club in New York, there was a book launch and comedy show to celebrate Candace Reed and Kitty Martini’s book Thank You For Firing Me! Whether you’ve been recently laid off, or you finally told that c–t boss of yours who she really is, you’ll want to pick this book up. Thank You For Firing Me! gives tips and advice for those who are suffering the financial crunch in the Great Depression 2010. On hand for the launch of this book was comedian Rich Vos who has appeared on 2 Comedy Central specials and won ”Last Comic Standing.” His standup routine literally had me in tears from laughing so hard.

A rare glimpse of Prince smiling on 6/16/06 in New York
I was digging through the G photo archives today and when I found the above photo, I realized that it’s very rare to catch a glimpse of the Purple one smiling. However, when you are posing for G, how could you not bust a grin? The above and below photos were taken on June 16, 2006 when Prince was on Good Morning America. He performed “Get On The Boat” (with Sheila E.), “Redhead Stepchild” (with Tamar) and a verseless version of “Let’s Go Crazy.” I was lucky enough to be in the front row to watch my purple idol perform, and I loved every second of it. After the jump, see an exclusive photo of Prince giving the “O” face. I hope the purple police do not come after me for posting these photos, because I mean only love and I own all of his albums and have bought tickets to see him in concert no less than 50 times (and every single time was life changing!)

Extinction - Now playing at the Cherry Lane Theater in NYC!
What happens when your life is flipped upside down in the matter of a few hours? Extinction is a great depiction of the answer to that very question. This 90 minute play is now showing at the Cherry Lane Theater in the New York’s West Village. The play stars James Roday (who can been seen on the show “Psych“) and Michael Weston (who has been in films such as “Dukes of Hazzard” and “Garden State“). The pair play best friends who haven’t seen each other in a long time and have reunited for a lost weekend. After doing copious amounts of cocaine, the truth comes out about their friendship and the skeletons in their closets. Though the story line is entirely different than the comparison I am about to make, “Extinction” reminded me of Edward Albee’s classic play “Who’s Afraid of Virgina Woolf?” as lives can completely unravel in a matter of hours. The acting is superb and while the play has some serious subject matter, it’s peppered with comedic situations. The play runs until March 14, 2010, so get your tickets while you can. And slow down Len Bias!

Little Boots live at the Highline Ballroom
British electro-pop goddess Victoria Hesketh, better known as Little Boots, celebrated the US release date of her debut album “Hands” by playing a sold-out show on March 2, 2010 at New York’s Highline Ballroom. Her album has been out in the UK since June of 2009 but the US just wasn’t ready for it until today. Her stage show is like something reminiscent of Lady Gaga with really cool laser lights. While she doesn’t have the strongest voice, her songs are catchy as hell and will definitely have you boppin’ till you drop. She graciously thanked the crowd for partying with her on this very special day. She performed her hits “Earthquake,” “Remedy,” “Stuck on Repeat” and “New In Town.” She also debuted a new song that I am pretty sure is called “Echo” as she said that about a million times in the song. She apologized for being “douchey” but the song was inspired by the “Twilight” books. Apology accepted. Another highlight was her take on “Symmetry,” as she performed the song without the aid of Human League’s Phillip Oakey, who appears on the studio version. See some more bootylicious pictures of Little Boots and the set list after the jump.

Central Park on 2/26/10
If you were on the East Coast of the United States in the last few days, you’ll know all about the insane snow storms we’ve had. Above and below are two highlights of the snow storm, according2g. The top picture is surprisingly not a painting. It was taken (with my hand) in Central Park around 6 pm. I’m getting all Ansel Adams on your ass! 
The bottom picture shows that even the snow had fun.
Snow is fun!
